Let me get this straight if I like a wheel you can shave the offset or add to it tom make it work? Or do I have to order custom wheels from you and just pick out a style you have? Sounds like about 5k for an admission price for a custom built wheel...Sorry but I don't have that kind of chump change laying around. Let me know if I am off base.
No dude ... you pics out a wheel you like ... tell him your set up (suspension / camber settings, your plans for the car) and then he pics the offset to meet your goals. His specialty is working with Works thou.

i know a couple guys at forgeline one used to work w/ a friend at RIDE of daytona.. but ouch they killed it on those fitments..
main thing when going w/ super wide tires is to focus on the sidewall profile. notice on your wheels the sidewall is literally trying to come off the wheels.. the 285 hoosier ive handled personally and it fits like a 315.. needs 10/10.5 wheel at least to handle its girth and sit properly on the car.
like i said sitting down for like an hour i could calc something out but it seems your happy with what u have now.. their nice wheels i personally only sell work wheels tho.

everything is custom ordered.. to the offset needed... all math done prior. avg multipiece 18x10 setup runs anywhere between 2000-2800 depending on the wheel style and such...
and i ONLY sell work wheels, because they give the most options on fitment and build a top notch quality product.

No the sidewall is NOT literally coming off. That is the design of the Rs304's. They have a huge overlapping rim protector. With other r-comps such as V710's the look is different. The 285 Hoosier actually has a section width that is .5" wider than many other r-comps. Many Evo's that are used for road course racing and Solo II racing use 9.5" wheels with 285's. When it comes to aggressive racing the fitment issues get even greater when going to a 10.5" rim. I'd love to see a set of wheels you would have made for racing using 285's. Can you show some pics of your 10-10.5 setup with 285? What's the weight of them?The offsets were played with by Forgeline and many measurements were taken to get proper offsets. My rears were rebuilt with a 2" outer shell vs. the 2.5 outer shell they used in the front. These aren't guesstimate fittings.
